Security

 

HIPAA security regulations require physical and electronic protection   of patient health information.  Vehracity provides a security solution for your data management issue.

If you have a traditional software system with a server and data right in your office, under the new HIPAA Security Rule, you'll be responsible for protecting your computer-stored patient data from  both physical access (break-ins, disgruntled employees, etc.) and electronic access (firewalls, complete network and user security, etc.) This situation presents a great challenge for small and large practices alike, on top of the regular headaches of managing backups, software  installs, and more. Then, you add backup and reliability issues, considering that some 40-50% of all in-office tape backups fail to restore properly. It's a disaster waiting to happen.

Instead of having an unprotected server and computer in your office, Vehracity stores all of its information in a HIPAA compliant datacenter facility.  Located on one of the most fiber rich routes in  the country, our datacenter is a state-of-the-art facility built for security, connectivity, redundancy, and peace of mind.

 

In addition to our excellent datacenter security, IHCS provides additional levels of security:

 

TRANSFER

We use 256 bit encryption of all data transfer as opposed to the traditional 128 bit used by the majority of companies

 

AUDIT TRAIL

Any changes to patient health information are tracked so that the system administrator can review

LOGOUT

If the system is inactive for a certain period of time, the system will automatically log the user out of the system to protect patient records

USER ROLES

The system administrator can control access to certain patient information in the system by setting the user role.  This feature will allow the system administrator to designate what security levels and roles they wish to implement for each user.

 

 

Privacy

 

HIPAA privacy regulations are in place to guard the confidentiality of the patient against outside interference.  These regulations come into effect when any information containing patient identity information is added to a document.

 

Generally, for the average health care provider, the Privacy Rule requires:

1. Notifying the patients about their privacy rights and how their information can be used

2. Adopting and implementing privacy procedures for its practice

3. Securing patient records containing individually identifiable health information so that they are not readily available to those who do not need them

 

Privacy regulations protect the confidentiality of the patient's individual medical information with respect to others.

To handle these privacy regulations, Vehracity has key privacy tools:

 

USER ROLES

We offer restricted access to the system based on user roles which reveals access only to those authorized

CONSENT

We provide a set of patient consent management tools dependent on HIPAA privacy regulations.  These tools include the ability to electronically store forms with automated reminders to benefit your employees.

 

All these features insure the safety of every patient's medical information.

Our in-house support teams have strict guidelines and policies on confidentiality and immediate destruction of the patient health information, once the specific support or consulting service is complete.
